Thank you for your story!

I was particularly intrigued over your accuracy in accounting your medications
and holistic approaches you are trying. I too, am convinced that the stress
of my divorce entered into the TM picture, as well as the loss to cancer of my
best friend. I am litterally scared that I will not be able to find a lasting
love, following the diagnosis of this disease, and it was particularly
enlighting to see that it does happen! I find myself too scared to try,
again, which I know is probably due to "not being ready," however I am not
sure how I will know, until I try.

I highly recommend Dr Andrew Weil's book, Spontaneous Healing, as it relates
to herbal remedies. I have been taking (2) Ginger Root capsules, 550 mg and
(1) Feverfew Leave Capsule, 380 mg per day. I believe that has helped reduce
the band sensation that I have (T6) to the point that I no longer take any
more narcotic pain medication. (I still do take Neurontin at a low dose of
(1) 100 mg tab 3 times a day for the neuro pain), which I was taking when I
started the herbal supplements.

Your story really helped me this morning - I was beginning to have a pity
party. . .lonliness I guess.

Thanks again-
